Mr. Flynn
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what is Her Majesty's Government's policy towards (a) the threshold test ban treaty and (b) the peaceful nuclear explosions treaty; and how the United Kingdom capacity to continue nuclear testing in Nevada will be affected by these treaties.
Mr. Lennox-Boyd
We welcome the ratification of the threshold test ban treaty and the peaceful nuclear explosions treaty. Neither treaty will have any effect on the United Kingdom testing programme. This programme meets the testing limits agreed by the US and the Soviet Union.
